It’s all about the location at this swish apartment in Shepherd’s Bush. Goldhawk Road underground station is an easy walk away, whisking you into the centre of London in a matter of minutes. Sticking around to explore the neighbourhood, you’ll find ample green space and pretty high streets lined with cosy pubs. Part of a set of serviced apartments, you won’t find homely bric-a-brac or odds and ends filling the surfaces, rather a sleek, open-plan living room and a full kitchen for self-catering. Plus two comfy bedrooms.

About White City
The history of White City is surprisingly recent by London’s standards.
